In March 2008 I made the suprising discovery that I had a little artistic talent which had been lying dormant all my life. I started with simple still life subjects but as time went on I progressed to more complex subjects.
The only medium I paint in is pastels which I love. They do tend to be messy but I love the immediacy of the work, involving no mixing with turps or water, just pure pigment directly applied and mixed right there on the paper.

Autumn Sun
This is from a photo I took myself during a visit to another artist's studio in New Hampshire. I took a look back along the lane we had just walked and was struck by the color of the trees and sun shining through the trees. It's pastel 11 x 14.
